Horrible customer service I bought several wabi "Outdoor" planters and within a couple of months of being outside, the paint started chipping off of ALL of them - I sent in photos and Crate and Barrel said it was my fault for having kept them in the garage and that it was past their 30 day return policy - so too bad. That is thousands of dollars down the drain, and 10 very heavy planters leaving a mess of chipped paint on my patio that I now have to figure out. The customer service response was atrocious - and the "outdoor" "frost resistant" item should not be sold for outdoors. Not the first time I've been dismayed with their customer service either. But this was next level terrible.

They are the worst! They are the worst! Constant miscommunication and incompetence. They mess up your orders repeatedly and then you’ll still be penalized for it, not them. You’ll be penalized with major delays, holds, up charges, etc… and they won’t even consider any type of compensation for your suffering. STAY AWAY!!!

Horrible Horrible. Literally worst online ordering experience for myself as well as my sister ( two separate purchases) for a registry of family member. Spent hours on phone. Customer service reps are inept and callous. Never again. My sister lost money- never got her refund. Its been months. I lost a part of my soul on the phone for and hour.

Punitive Policies Recently placed a large order, including numerous items that were backordered but still charged to my card. Eventually, I was notified some of the items were no longer available and I would be issued a refund. So, essentially I "loaned" C&B several hundred dollars interest free. If I'm going to give out interest-free loans, my friends and family will come first...not C&B or any of their other businesses.

Wonderful company! Update: After contacting C&B customer service, I'm happy to report that they really stepped-up and sorted out my order to my complete satisfaction. Well done to the C&B team. ------------------------------------------------------------- As others have suggested...C&B employs deceptive marketing practices. They're quick to take your money, then delay order fulfillment. I ordered $900 worth of cookware back in November to prepare for the Christmas holidays. What was promised for 2-Dec delivery, has now been pushed to the 15th. Looks like C&B will destroy my holiday preparations.
